The New & Improved 2018 Experience

For over 20 years, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series has made running fun by infusing each course with live bands, cheer teams and more. In 2018, we have reset our focus to deliver best-in-class running events, where music is core and our community encourages participants to feel like they are something bigger than themselves. We promise to bring more music, better runner support, improved technology, and more community engagement to every event, every step of the way.

Miles

We’re committed to bringing you more course support every mile of the way.

With events around the world and distances for everyone, we want you to run with us in 2018. Click below to explore all our destinations. With best-in-class events in more than 30 cities, including Las Vegas, Nashville, Washington DC, Montreal, Liverpool, Madrid and Oaxaca there is an event close to you.

Music

We’re bringing you more music every step of the way.

Live bands, DJ’s, drum lines, and mile markers that rock line the streets to power your race experience from start to finish. The music doesn’t stop there, most events conclude with a headliner concert free for runners and spectators. Since 1998, headliners have included some of music’s biggest names, like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Fitz & the Tantrums, Goo Goo Dolls, Pat Benatar, Train, The Wallflowers, and Pitbull.

Moments

With more music, better course support, and more community engagement, 2018 is our year to celebrate all the moments of your run!

Our history is made up of the collective moments and milestones from runners like you. Every runner at every start and finish line, has a story about how and why you got there. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned runner, running to change your life or make a difference in others, we invite you to share your running moments with us and be a part of our best year yet in 2018.
